#PublicHealth | In #Hathras, a stampede at a godman’s gathering recently put spiritual healers back in focus. The recent crowd crush at a baba’s ashram there cast a grim spotlight on the dangers of unchecked superstition & mass gatherings. | Ismat Ara frontline.thehindu.com/the-nation/pub…

In India, several laws govern alternative healing practices that involve superstitions & rituals. The Anti-Black Magic Act, implemented in Maharashtra & Karnataka, aims to curb practices that exploit people’s beliefs in supernatural powers. | Ismat Ara frontline.thehindu.com/the-nation/pub…

In 2019, a similar PDF went around in Assam circles identifying “anti-Assamese” journalists & writers. Basically, people who had done critical reporting/writings on Assam NRC & Assamese nationalism. It had the names of many of us. (1/3)

But here’s the thing – as far as I know, that list did not stop any of the people mentioned from doing what they did i.e. reporting, writing & advocating for the oppressed. And I’m sure this list won’t do that either. More power to the people targeted here. (3/3)
